Most international policies have evac insurance, some automatically, some as an add on. Not very expensive. I have not heard of anyone who has used somthing like this in a place like Roatan. We called our number just to check and they were responsive, though we did not have an emergency. Phones have to be working for ANY option -- definitely a problem here. In our case, plane would come from states, so likely 6 hours minimum before you got back to states. Covers all evac costs up to 50k. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Corinna Colledge" + To: Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2003 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [roatan] Re: MEDJET vs DAN > Yes, you should review your options.
